Ken & Dicks Roselands Original Pizza

Excellent sausage (which I never get on a pizza, but will from here because it is so good). Excellent thin crust. Owners who care about their customers and appreciate their business. Been a customer for the past 7 years even though they keep moving thier location.

I just opened an office here in Oak Forest and I am used to good pizza. Born and raised south side, we all know good pizza. If you like thin crust, this is damn good and fast delivery. The owner took my order and had it delivered within 30 minutes. This is NOT Chicago Style pizza, although it is cut in squares, it would be really good cut into triangles and folded over like New York style pizza. The sauce is just right. its not too sweet and not too tart, AND, unlike many other places, they dont overload it or skimp out on the sauce.
They can be a little more generous with their toppings, but I am guilty of gluttony. Overall, I think this is a great thin crust!!! Very thin crust pizza. I believe they also have a double crust or pan but I have not ordered that yet.

I think this place must be in the old Papa T’s spot. I’ll explain later.
Seeing their menu that they were originally from Roseland, I was excited. Roseland has some great pizza places. Some are gone for good, unfortunately. The overall pizza is okay. Just okay. The ingredients, individually, seem good enough. I mentioned the Papa T’s reference because judging by the lip/​rim on the pizza, I would deduce that they use the old Papa T’s pizza pans that are silicone or something. They have a quick bake oven, from my memory. The crust was thin and crispy, sauce ok. The best description I can give is that there is missing something. If it is quick-​baked, then maybe that is the problem. There is no substitution for regular baking on a hot surface. This kills me because I usually do good homework on pizza joints before trying them, which explains that most of my reviews are high ratings. The pie isn’t BAD. I would suggest to at least try it, maybe it will be your cup of tea. I just don’t see myself ordering from them again. They would be king in Central Illinois or Indiana, but in the Chicago vicinity, you have to try harder.
